The ABS DWV 90-degree elbow with low heel inlet features a spigot x hub connection and is used to change the direction of flow. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) is resistant to a wide variety of materials ranging from sewage to commercial household chemical formulations and can be exposed to a wide temperature span. ABS is lightweight, safe to handle and easy to install. ABS DWV is joined by solvent cementing or threading and can easily be connected to steel, copper, or cast iron through the use of transition fittings. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco I447000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the low heel inlet on the Nibco 5861-2-LH elbow used for?
The low heel inlet is a side branch cast into the low (heel) side of a 90 degree quarter bend, so you can pick up a 2 inch drain line right at the turn instead of adding a separate fitting downstream. The 5861-2-LH is a 3 x 3 x 2 inch configuration: 3 inch through the bend, 2 inch at the heel inlet. It changes direction of flow in a DWV drain, waste and vent system.
2) Is the Nibco 5861-2-LH spigot on one end and hub on the other?
Yes. The 5861-2-LH is a Spg x Hub fitting: one end is a spigot that fits into the hub of another fitting, and the other end is a hub that accepts pipe. That lets it drop straight into a fitting socket without a coupling. Both ends are solvent weld, Schedule 40 sizing.
3) Can I use this ABS elbow with PVC pipe or glue it to copper or cast iron?
The fitting is ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and is joined by solvent cementing or threading, so it bonds to ABS DWV pipe using ABS cement. It is not a PVC fitting. To tie into steel, copper or cast iron you use transition fittings rather than solvent cementing to those materials.
4) What temperature range can this ABS DWV fitting handle, and can it be air tested?
Service temperature runs -40 F to 180 F, which covers typical waste and vent duty including intermittent hot discharge. Do not test or use it with compressed air or other gases. Use water for pressure or leak testing on the system.
5) Is this the black ABS fitting that matches existing black DWV pipe in a building?
Yes, it is black ABS, the standard color for ABS DWV, so it visually matches existing black ABS drain lines. If the drain lines in the building are white or off-white, those are PVC and this fitting is the wrong material for that system.
6) What is the exact Nibco part number for the 3 x 3 x 2 low heel inlet elbow?
The 5861-2-LH in 3 x 3 x 2 inch carries manufacturer part number I447000, UPC 039923197122. That is the single size configuration for this quarter bend with the 2 inch heel inlet.
